Marty Stuart At Waterside Theatre On Roanoke Island Sunday, August 17

Marty Stuart is a five time GRAMMY-winner, platinum recording artist, Grand Ole Opry star, country music archivist, Southern culture historian, photographer, musician, songwriter, TV show host, charismatic force of nature, and country music fan.

Since starting out singing gospel as a child, Stuart, 54, has spent over four decades celebrating American roots music with a missionary’s zeal. His teenage years on tour with bluegrass legend Lester Flatt in the ’70s were followed by six years in Johnny Cash’s band during the ’80s and a chart-topping tenure as a solo artist in the ’90s.

Stuart’s zest for every conceivable flavor of country music is also seen regularly by TV viewers these days, on RFD-TV’s “The Marty Stuart Show”, a musical variety show and the number one program on the network.

Marty Stuart and The Fabulous Superlatives will be live at Waterside Theatre on Roanoke Island on Sunday, August 17, starting at 8pm.

Tickets will go on sale to Lost Colony members on May 12, and to the general public starting on Friday, May 16. buy tickets
